How was the: diagnosis made??? headaches??? nasal discharge???? It is clear to me that "classic sinusitis" is a hard diagnosis to make and I would suggest an in person visit with an ENT (Ear Nose Thoat) SPECIALIST for an examination and possible treatment. If HEADACHES are your major symptom your PCP should turn to another explanation than sinus problems. Hope this is helpful \ Dr Z

I had a ct scan of my neck in 2006. It said I had a polyp on my maxillary sinus. Is that even possible to see maxillary sinuses on neck ct? Could it turn cancerous? My dr wasnt concerned and didnt biopsy it?
